A quality hostel: Cape Town Deco Lodge

Hello Everyone,

 

Well, we have only stayed in one place in South Africa so far, and it has been a top notch hostel.  The place's name is Cape Town Deco Lodge.  The "Deco" comes from the art deco architectural design of the exterior.  It is run by a great business partnership of Hannas and Robyn.  The attached picture is of our bedroom after we messed it up for 5 days.  I should have taken a picture when we first arrived then you would have been able to see the original presentation of the room.  I think it is safe to say that this hostel is more of a bed and breakfast than a hostel.  At least it should qualify as one.  It has a large porch, a pool, and gardens all interior to a perimeter wall which provides privacy and security.  It is also cheap.  Our private room with double bed is only costing us $18 each a night.  They also have a nicely stocked bar with cheap drinks.

 

The nice thing is that we have heard the hostels in South Africa are a cut above most of the international community's.  They have a strict rating and review system administered by the government.  So I really hope that we have nothing but pleasant experiences here.

 

I will try to take some pics of the place before we leave tomorrow.

 

Cheers,

 

Sean
